Display and movie black bar problem

[Rafael Santos]

Could someone tell me if these bars are normal?  would it be because of the camera's condition?  appears on the display and in the recording.

I mean the black bars in the center of the display, not the sides. They keep passing from the bottom to the top

Lighting situation. Due to the refresh rate of fluorescent or LED. You won't see this effect outdoors or under incandescent lighting. Can be limited by adjusting shutter speed or frame rate.

If you're talking about the soft black bars running horizontally in your snapshot, it's what VTC said. Might also be a magnetic field nearby. I haven't noticed it here, but I'm bypassing the display with a Ninja 5 via HDMI.  If it's not that or the letterbox bars top and bottom, the display I see in your screen shot is the LEVEL tool, one of 4 screens available after the default cluttered-border opening screen. The Level indicator shows up solo on my A7Siii after three presses of the the DISP button - it's located on the north position of the back control wheel. It's a handy tool. The displays cycle on each press.

Hope one of those solves your issue. There may be a firnware update which fixes it.

Best, as always,

Loren
